Punch Blasts Off with Lunar New Year Release, Bottle Rocket

Punch Cigars is continuing its beloved tradition of Lunar New Year cigars with an explosive new limited-edition called Bottle Rocket. Punch Bottle Rocket features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a Nicaraguan Estelí binder, and Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Honduran fillers. It is available in a single size — a 4.5 X 50 figurado.

Building off last year’s firework-themed release (Dragon Fire), Bottle Rocket comes packaged in a firework canister, and each cigar is attached to its own firework stick. Individual canisters contain 20 cigars. The canisters also display serpent imagery as a nod to The Year of the Snake, which began on January 29.

Punch’s brand manager, Scott Abney, said, “Much like a good firework, Punch Bottle Rockets are powerful, eye-catching, and surprising in all the right ways. Beyond the colorful packaging and bombastic branding lies a truly excellent cigar crafted with a rich Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Grab a pack of Bottle Rockets and start the Lunar New Year off with a bang!”

Bottle Rocket will begin shipping to retailers February 3, 2025.
